By Rachel Boddie, Co-Owner of Play Street Museum Highlands Ranch May 15, 2024

As summer approaches, parents everywhere are on the lookout for engaging and educational activities for their children. Play Street Museum Highlands Ranch, with its unique blend of learning and fun, emerges as a top destination for families. 

Here are a few reasons to add a visit to this interactive children's museum to your family's summer itinerary.


ESCAPE FROM THE HEAT
Summer means fun, but it also brings some heat, and this summer is expected to be especially warm!

Play Street Museum offers a climate-controlled environment where children can play and explore. Kids can immerse themselves in creatively themed rooms — from grocery stores to veterinary clinics — allowing them to learn and play regardless of the weather outside.

PERFECT FOR YOUNG EXPLORERS
Specifically tailored for children aged 1-8, Play Street Museum offers safe, age-appropriate activities for toddlers and elementary school kids. The museum's layout and exhibits are designed to be accessible and engaging for young minds, making it an ideal spot for families with children in this age range.

MANAGEABLE SIZE AND CROWD
Unlike larger museums, Play Street Museum offers a more intimate and manageable environment. Parents can easily keep an eye on their children, and kids feel secure and not overwhelmed.

The smaller scale and reservation system also typically means fewer crowds and no waiting time for activities, making it a more relaxed visit for everyone.

SPECIAL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Play Street Museum often hosts special events on weekends and evenings that add extra layers of fun and learning. 

Featuring artistic crafts, science activities, and more, these events provide children new experiences and learning opportunities, ensuring that no two visits are exactly the same.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND
Each exhibit at Play Street Museum encourages children to develop their cognitive and social skills through play. Whether they're solving problems, engaging in role-play, or practicing their fine motor skills, kids learn valuable lessons aligned with educational standards, making every visit fun and fruitful.
